Course Detail

Based on the braking clinics offered to instructors and police motor officers, the Braking Clinic (ABC) is a short course for endorsed riders to refine braking skills in normal and emergency situations.

The 2.5-hour ABC takes place on closed off parking lots, but at higher speeds than basic training. When braking at higher speeds, your bike responds differently – learn how to manage quick stops from 40+ mph. The clinic uses trackside chats to address crash hazards and myths about braking, and helps those with anti-lock braking systems discover its potential.

ABC is recommended for endorsed riders ready to take their skills to the next level, but does not meet state mandatory training requirements for riders to earn a motorcycle license.

ABC is appropriate for any rider with 2+ years riding experience. Group rates and private courses are available.

Team Oregon is contacting students to reschedule their courses or receive a refund. No new registrations will be taken at this time. To be notified by e-mail when registration opens,add your name to our waiting list.

Completion Requirements

Full protective riding gear is required. Find full detail in What to Bring. Participants must be 16 or older and possess a valid driver license and motorcycle endorsement. Completion cards are awarded to graduates of ABC. To receive a completion card, you must participate in all on-cycle riding sessions. For additional information, see Eligibility Requirements.

Most participants complete the course successfully. However, there is no guarantee of course completion or graduation. Students who fail to demonstrate a minimum level of safety will be dismissed without refund.

Refund Policy

Remember: You are paying for a reserved seat in a course. Registrations are limited. If you need to reschedule your course or cancel, you must do so at least three days before the course begins to be eligible for a refund. Students who arrive late or leave early lose their reservation and payment.

Wet weather/cancellation policy: ABC courses may be cancelled or postponed due to rain. Instructors will make the decision based on existing conditions at the course site. Regardless of the weather at home, plan to attend your ABC rain or shine. Only those riders present will be given the opportunity to reschedule if the course is cancelled or postponed.
